It is absolutely no coincidence that this decision is made public on National Sorry Day.
_____
Northern Territory police have confirmed they have declined to charge the two off-duty officers involved in an arrest over the death of 24-year-old Kumanjayi White, a Warlpiri man who lived with cognitive disabilities.
White died on 27 May last year during a confrontation with police in a Coles supermarket. His death sparked nationwide rallies and outrage, with calls for accountability and an independent probe.
The Northern Territory police commissioner, Martin Dole, said the Director of Public Prosecutions and territory police had conducted a fair and thorough investigation over the past 12 months.
“A brief of evidence was submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions for their opinion. Following consideration of all available evidence, including the independent expert report, the DPP formed the view that there was no reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution,” Dole said.
The commissioner acknowledged the ongoing distress, anger and grief of White’s family and the Northern Territory Aboriginal community.
“While the decision not to proceed with charges was made based on the evidence and applicable legal thresholds, we recognise this outcome may be difficult for Kumanjayi White’s family – a man lost his life.”
Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of White’s death.

Israel's parliament has passed legislation making the death penalty by hanging the default punishment for West Bank Palestinians convicted of nationalistic killings.
The bill, long-sought by Israel's far right, was opposed by both Israeli and Palestinian rights groups.

My verto disability officer (who is from London) was asking me how my trip to the UK was, and then she started talking about how "it's changed because ✨the population✨ has changed".
She then went on to talk about how she has friends who live there who told her how some of ✨the new population✨ moved into their village and are changing everything. She complained about how hundreds of years of tradition were being undone by ✨new people✨ moving in and bringing their own traditions with them and how horrid that is.

[edit: I found them. It's @Ceejayevylyn - commission work with them!]
This is the piece of art I commissioned with my birthday money this year!
I'd had the idea of the message you often get in games, "enemies are vulnerable to their opposite elements", with regards to armed resistance, ICE and molotovs... but I have absolutely ZERO artistic skills.
I posted here about it, and was approached by CJ Evelyn who was interested in the idea as well.
Working with them was an absolute breeze! They were helpful and listened to exactly what I wanted, super communicative and absolutely helped me get the idea I wanted out of my aphantasic brain and into a visual artwork.
I'd love to tag them here, but their account got stolen and I can't find the new one - so, CJ.. if you're following me, please reach out so I can tag your account!
This is the watermarked image (I don't want their art stolen, but definitely feel free to repost with watermarks and credit!)
CJ, thank you again.
Everyone else, definitely recommend commissioning revolutionary art and definitely recommend commissioning from CJ.
Also. FUCK ICE and FUCK COPS.

Ok, so the Queensland government has banned the use of the phrase "from the river to the sea".
Is John Farnham finally going to be arrested for the song "Two Strong Hearts"?

Oh look, NSW laws being used to silence the protest against Aboriginal deaths in custody.
Shocked.
_____
Protesters in Sydney have vowed to return for 'Invasion Day' rallies on 26 January after being dispersed at a rally against Indigenous deaths in custody on Sunday.
In the lead-up to the event, demonstrators said they were planning to march in defiance of the NSW government's controversial new protest laws.
However, moments before protesters were set to march from Hyde Park, police told event organiser Paul Silva to ask the crowd to "disperse in a peaceful and orderly manner".
Silva then told the crowd of about 200 people — according to the Australian Associated Press — that he thought it would be "the safest option if we disperse".
"I don't want anyone being attacked and, unfortunately, these laws will allow that," Silva said.
Following the Bondi terror attack, NSW passed new legislation giving the state's police commissioner the power to restrict protests for up to three months after a designated terrorist incident.
Police say they're now negotiating with organisers over the rallies planned for 26 January, Australia Day. A spokesperson has said the NSW Police commissioner has yet to make a decision on whether to renew the ban, which is set to lapse on Tuesday 20 January.

Senior police have taken less than a day to deploy anti-protest powers that were rushed into law after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
NSW Police late on Christmas Eve moved to ban protest rallies from key metropolitan areas in Sydney after legislation was passed earlier the same morning to allow the action following declared terrorist incidents.
Meanwhile, Indigenous groups have raised concerns an extension of the police anti-protest designation could render "invasion day" protests on January 26 unlawful.
Mr Minns said the assemblies could take place, although he drew a distinction between static rallies and marches through the city.

Senior police have taken less than a day to deploy anti-protest powers that were rushed into law after the Bondi Beach terror attack.
NSW Police late on Christmas Eve moved to ban protest rallies from key metropolitan areas in Sydney after legislation was passed earlier the same morning to allow the action following declared terrorist incidents.
Meanwhile, Indigenous groups have raised concerns an extension of the police anti-protest designation could render "invasion day" protests on January 26 unlawful.
Mr Minns said the assemblies could take place, although he drew a distinction between static rallies and marches through the city.
